Hey, I'm new to the forum. I've read a lot of great info on here so I figured I would join. I have a mahindra 5570 has anyone had trouble with the tier 4 motors/emissions? Had a 08 model 6500 and loved it. It was bullet proof this brand new one has been a lot of trouble. Bought it April 27th haven't been able to use it but about an hours worth of operating. Mahindra has been reluctant to step up and make it right. Please any info you guys on the forum have would be greatly appreciated

Welcome. Try to describe the problem you're having with as much detail as you can. There are a couple of Mahindra dealer techs that watch the Mahindra section and they may be able to steer you in the right direction.
As soon as it was unloaded at my house I noticed white smoke puffed out. I also noticed not much power. Dealer said to run it awhile. So I did, couple hours in to it the MIL light comes on, also continues you puff white smoke when starting. Then tractor bogs down and stalls out. I carry it back to local dealer. He replaces egr valve and egr cooler and resets error codes. Finally get it home and 10 minutes in to running MIL light comes on and bogs down and stalls out. When I start it back up it is smoking worse than ever. Called dealer immediately after that, and know one has an answer for me. Bought brand new 2 months ago and still haven't got to enjoy it

Where are you located and who is your dealer? Ireland? It sounds to me like you need to get Mahindra directly involved with this. Hopefully one of the dealer types will speak up soon. They will often have a clue if Mahindra is having a problem like this with a specific model.
I also would not bring it back home unless you know it will running right. If I were making payments on it and it's that bad, those would likely stop too.
Yeah I agree. I just couldn't understand how my first mahindra could be so great and this one so bad. I told the head of customer service I wanted my money back. She told me the selling dealer has to do that. So I asked him for a refund and at the least a different machine. So he says he will call the southeast service manager hadn't heard anything back and now he won't call me back

Did you pay cash or finance it with Mahindra? What state? If they aren't cooperating maybe you need to have a lawyer to give them a jingle. That's a last resort of course but is sometimes necessary. I like my tractor but so far Mahindra does not impress me with their after sales support. Even their manuals suck.
I didn't finance through mahindra so not making a payment is not an option. Would I be jumping the gun by contacting a lawyer? I know that you can have trouble with anything you buy , but this is ludacris. I have basically been without a tractor for 2 months. Could the BBB help any? And yes the manuals suck. I have to turn to forums for info. Lol

I don't know about the lawyer because I'm not in your shoes or getting the feedback from the dealer you are. As I said lawyers are a last resort short of a rope and firearms of course. LOL
Hopefully one of the Mahindra tech types will give you some insight soon. I remember some sort of EGR farcus causing a problem like that but forgot which model it was.
I think about all the BBB ever really does is collect their money. I haven't heard anyone mention them for years now so I presume that they are fading away.
Depending on what state you live in, your state laws can sometimes help.
I live I tennessee. I hope people see this thread who are considering financing a tracor. Go through the manufacturer financing, if there is problems stop making payments. All companies now want is maximum profits with minimal support for the customer
